Although lamb and/or merguez can easily be substituted for the mutton and chicken in this recipe. My family enjoys this dish that I cook frequently.

This soup is the tastiest! The way it’s seasoned is ok for kids too. Not too spicey. I added 1/4 cup white wine at the onion/potatoes saute to deglaze. Yes, I did saute the potatoes too along with the onions. Used whole peeled marzano tomatoes instead of chopped. Just cut up the tomatoes a little with scissors to keep them chunky. Also used flanken ribs instead of beef chuck because of the bones. Makes a better broth.

This is one of the most flavorful soups – highly recommend. I usually make the recipe exactly as shown, but I made very minor changes to this one based only on my taste and heat preference. On both the chili pepper and chipotle chili I used well-rounded teaspoons when measuring. For the green chili, instead of canned, I used the roasted Hatch green chili found in the freezer section (I thought would be a little fresher taste). That is it, everything else exactly as the recipe states. My husband and I found this to have a rich spicy flavor without the heat. Served with a little grated cheese and chopped green onions on top. Even better the next day, or frozen and re-heated.

Really good. Used what I had on hand, cubebsteak instead of what was in the recipe and canned sliced potatoes. I liked the tang from the chilies. Was a nice change from regular stew i normally make on a cold wet day.
